Reviews

Grade 3-6–Hewitt introduces readers to ways they can improve the environment individually and collectively. Besides standard suggestions for conserving energy, recycling, and reducing waste, the author notes how local actions such as buying fair-trade products can have a global impact. Although some vocabulary and photos reveal the books UK origins, case studies and photos highlight environmental projects around the world, including the work of international organizations such as Water Aid and UNICEF. Small photos and headings over brief paragraphs lend a busy quality to spreads that consider multiple aspects of a topic. Action suggestions appear throughout each volume along with a larger project, such as setting up a family recycling program, outlined in a couple of pages at the end. Some overlap exists between Reduce and Waste as well as between Environment and Energy, Waste, Reduce, and Water.
